Blue Sky Distillery
Blue Sky Distillery is owned and operated by husband and wife Mark and Kim Rangos. Mark’s family has been in the spirits business for many decades, beginning with his grandfather who opened his own bar in West Virginia in the 1950’s. A generational enterprise, the bar was passed down to Mark’s mother and then to his sisters and is still in operation today. After retiring in the 1990’s, Mark’s father opened a winemaking and beer-making supply shop. And, true to keeping it all in the family, the business was recently passed on to his nephew, where he continues to operate the business in West Virginia. And in 2016, Mark joined the family influence by founding Blue Sky Distillery with a focus on producing quality handcrafted spirits.
